Would-be Ford assassin 'Squeaky' Fromme moving to Marcy
JENNIFER FUSCO and ROCCO LaDUCA
Sep 15, 2009 at 12:01 AM Sep 15, 2009 at 3:00 PM
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, the woman convicted in 1975 of pointing a gun at then-President Gerald Ford, is moving to Marcy, officials said Monday.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, the woman convicted in 1975 of pointing a gun at then-President Gerald Ford, is moving to this Oneida County town, officials said Monday.
Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara said he received information from state police earlier this summer that Fromme, who is now 60, is moving to Marcy in the wake of her release from federal prison.
"I said, 'You're kidding me, right?'" McNamara said. "The 'Squeaky' Fromme from the Charles Manson clan? The one who shot at President Ford? I thought it was a joke."
Fromme was a 26-year-old disciple of the cult murderer Manson when she aimed a semiautomatic .45-caliber pistol at Ford in September 1975 in Sacramento.
Secret Service agents grabbed her, and Ford was unhurt. Seventeen days later, a second woman with ties to radical groups, Sara Jane Moore, took a shot at Ford in San Francisco and missed. She spent 32 years in prison.
Fromme was released from federal custody in mid-August after serving 34 years, according to the state Federal Bureau of Prisons Web site.
McNamara would not say where in Marcy she might live, and he said he didn't know whether she had moved there yet.
The news came as a surprise to local residents and officials.
"I'm surprised, but not alarmed," said Raymond Maciewicz, 58, of Benton Road. "It's an awful long time ago. Maybe she's repented her ways."
Marcy Councilman James Goodman said he was not aware of Fromme relocating to the area.
"It's news to me, so I guess I couldn't give you any information," he said.
Town Supervisor Brian Scala also hadn't heard, and did not want to comment on the news.
"People that pay their time, pay their time," he said.
Fromme, who got a life term, became the first person sentenced under a special federal law covering assaults on U.S. presidents, a statute enacted after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Manson is serving a life term in the Corcoran prison in California for the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and eight others. Fromme, one of his "family" of followers, was not implicated in those attacks.
While police and prosecutors can't hold a person's criminal past against them, McNamara said they do "have a heightened alertness toward people for the crimes they committed."
"We can't stop them from moving here, but obviously it creates a concern on our part because of the nature of the crimes she previously committed, and the people she was previously involved with," McNamara said.

An excerpt from an OUPblog article published on 10th March 2017, written by Nicholas Cronk, author of Voltaire: A Very Short Introduction.
"As we mark Voltaire's 323rd birthday – though the date of 20 February is problematic, – what significance does the great Enlightenment writer have for us now? If I had to be very very short, I'd say that Voltaire lives on as a master of the one-liner. He presents us with a paradox. Voltaire wrote a huge amount – the definitive edition of his Complete works being produced by the Voltaire Foundation in Oxford will soon be finished, in around 200 volumes. And yet he is really famous for his short sentences. He likes being brief, though as a critic once remarked, "Voltaire is interminably brief."..."

Police swoop down on money doubling gang; gangster killed in shootout
CTBUREAU_HS 16/05/2019
Mysuru, May 16:- A gang of money doubling racket from Mumbai has been active in the city. After being alerted about the activities of the gang, city police carried out a raid on Thursday. Of the three members, one gangster, who tried to attack the police was killed in the police firing. Though he was rushed to KR Hospital for treatment, he died a little while later.
A couple of days back, Vijayanagar Police Inspector Vijay Kumar was alerted about the money doubling gang. After making initial preparations, he, along with his men, raided an apartment in Hebbal near Outer Ring Road. Three members of the gang took to their heels as soon as they saw the police. One of them was apprehended by the police.
In the drama that ensued, the gangster tried to attack the team of policemen. In retaliation, the police fired at the gangster, leaving him bleeding profusely. He was immediately taken to KR Hospital emergency care unit where he died due to excessive bleeding. Details of the gang members and whereabouts of the man who was killed in the melee is yet to be ascertained.
Commissioner of Police K T Balakrishna and DCP (law and order) M Muthuraj visited the spot. (MR/KS)

Story: The Mapletown Megilah Mystery
by Avraham Kass - Illustrations by Baruch Becker
"Look over there. See, it's an old shul, Chaim. I told you it was here."
Moshe Vogel pointed to an old abandoned building facing Forman's Lane, in what used to be the busiest Jewish section of North London.
"Chaim, what's this?" Moshe said, lifting up a long wooden case. ..."It's a Megillah!"
"Are you sure it's a shul?" asked Chaim Segal timidly.
"Of course I'm sure. I noticed it last week when I rode by here.You
can tell from the shape of the windows.And see, there, over the door, it says Bais HaKnesses Anshei Chesed — The Synagogue of the Men
of Kindness.Come on, let's take a closer look."
"But Moshe, it's all boarded up," Chaim protested.
"Don't be a sissy, come on. Look over here, the boards on that window have fallen off. Let's climb in."
Moshe went over to the window and gave it a tug. It rattled a bit, and then lifted open. In an eyeblink, the two boys were inside.
The abandoned shul smelled dank and musty. In the dim light, Moshe began to rummage about.The old wooden benches were covered with dust. Here and there lay worn-out curtains. Empty bookshelves stood by the walls.
"Look Chaim,"Moshe called."Here's a closet full of old books!"
At last Chaim also began to get interested."There's boxes of them," he said."Let's pull them out and see what's inside."
The two boys began sifting through piles of old Hebrew books with yellow pages and torn covers.
"Moshe, what's this?" He lifted up a long wooden case, about the size of his arm.Together they opened it. Inside was a scroll."It's a Megillah!"Moshe exclaimed."Wow! Look Chaim!"
"Why would anybody leave that here?" asked Chaim.
"I don't know,"Moshe replied."Look, here's a name written on the case: Samuel Rosen. He must be the owner.Do you think he's still alive? We ought to return it to him!"
"What a Mitzvah!"Chaim exclaimed.
The two boys returned home together with the Megillah, and began their search.They asked their parents.They looked in the phone book.They asked every old person they could,"Do you know who's Samuel Rosen?"But nobody knew.
"Why don't you go to the Post Office and ask there?" said Chaim's father."Maybe this person Samuel Rosen moved away years ago, and left a forwarding address. It might still be in the postal records."
At first, the postmaster complained. "It's too much work," he grumbled."When did you say the person moved?"
"We don't know.That's the thing.You see,we're looking for him so that we can return a valuable old scroll that he lost."
"Hmm, let me take a look," the postmaster said, taking an interest.
After about twenty minutes, he came back to the counter. "Boys, I think you're in luck.We have an old listing for a Samuel Rosen. He moved from Forman Court in North London to Mapledown."
"Where's that? the boys asked.
"In Surrey, about an hour south of London."
The boys copied down the address, 11 Fox Run, Mapledown, Surrey, and hurried home.That same day they posted a letter to Mr. Rosen, announcing that they had discovered his Megillah, and wondered if they could return it.
Every day, Chaim would ask,"Did you get an answer yet, Moshe?" But no reply came.A week passed." Maybe our letter got lost," said Chaim. Another week went by.
"Maybe Mr. Rosen doesn't like to write,"Moshe suggested.
"Well, what should we do now?"Chaim asked.
"There's only one thing we can do,"said Moshe. "If we want to return the Megillah,we'll have to take it to Mapledown ourselves."
Moshe and Chaim planned their trip for the following Sunday. Moshe took the Megillah in its wooden case, and
Chaim prepared a knapsack with sandwiches.They took the underground to Victoria Station, and bought tickets for the
mid-morning southbound train to Surrey.
They walked up a stony pathway winding between trees towards an
old white house, at the top of a hill.
Upon arriving at the Mapledown station, the attendant gave them directions how to get to 11 Fox Run. "Are you sure that's where you want to go?" he asked. "A strange old man lives there. No one hardly
sees him. Some say the place is haunted. I don't believe it myself, but I wouldn't be so hasty to pay a visit either."
Chaim looked timidly at his friend."Maybe,Moshe,we shouldn't..."
Moshe waved away his objections."We've come too far to turn back now,"he insisted, setting off down the road."Come on Chaim."
The train station of Mapledown was situated on the outskirts of town. In a short time the boys found themselves walking briskly down a narrow tree-lined country road.They followed the station-master's directions for about 25 minutes. Finally, near a gnarled old oak that must have been hundreds of years old, they saw a weathered sign post that said,"11 Fox Run. No Solicitors."
Chaim tugged at Moshe's sleeve."Moshe, it says No Solicitors."
"We're not solicitors, Chaim.Don't get nervous. Solicitors collect money. We're returning a lost object.That's different."
They walked up a stony pathway winding between trees towards an old white house at the top of a hill. Unkept weeds grew by the sides of the path. Finally they approached the front door.Moshe put the Megillah in his left hand, and began knocking loudly.
There was no answer.He banged some more. Suddenly, the door swung open on its own.
Moshe looked at Chaim with a question in his eye. Should they go in? " Maybe Mr. Rosen's upstairs and can't hear us," Moshe said."Let's take a peek inside, and call him."
"Oh Moshe, do we have to?"
"Don't be a scaredy,"Moshe replied.
"Mr. Rosen," the boys called,"Mr. R-o-o-sen."
Suddenly the front door slammed shut! Moshe and Chaim rushed to
the door to open it.
"It's locked!" cried Chaim in terror.
"Never mind. We can climb out the window," said Moshe, but to their
surprise, the windows were secured with iron bars.
"What are we going to do?" cried Chaim."We're trapped!"
Just then they heard a long eerie creaking sound.They turned around.The front door had swung open!
"Moshe, let's go, please."
"Just a minute, Chaim. I want to see what's upstairs!"
"U-Upstairs! Moshe. I don't want to go upstairs!"
"Well, are you going to stay down here all alone?" said Moshe as he began to go up the stairs.
"W-wait!"Chaim whispered."I-I'll come too."Slowly the boys mounted the wooden staircase.
Bang! Clang! Clang!
"Wh-What's that?" cried Chaim, grabbing at Moshe's sleeve.
"S-sounds like metal crashing,"said Moshe.
"Moshe,m-maybe this place is haunted,"sobbed Chaim.
"Pull yourself together Chaim. Here.You hold on to the Megillah.Come on."
At the top of the stairs the boys entered a long hallway. Bang! Clang! Clang! The strange noises started again, and then stopped.The boys edged their way forward, passing several doors. Finally, taking a deep breath, Moshe held Chaim by the hand, and slowly pushed open one of the doors.
The room was empty.Then together, they entered a second room. Suddenly the banging started again, this time louder than ever.The boys leapt fearfully back into the hallway. Again the banging stopped.No one was there. Only silence.
"I have an idea,"said Moshe."You go into the next room. I'll stay out here and hide in the hallway under this table. We'll find out where that banging is coming from."
"Are you sure, Moshe?"
"Don't be afraid, go on."
As Chaim entered the next room, Moshe heard footsteps, and then the banging and crashing of metal started again. Moshe peeked out from under the table.There stood an old man banging two pot-lids together.
"Mr. Rosen," cried Moshe as he jumped out from under the table."You're Mr. Rosen, aren't you!"
"I-I suppose I am," the old man mumbled gruffly."What are you doing in my house?"
"The door was open,"said Moshe."Then someone closed it on us, so we came upstairs."
Chaim came running out into the hallway. Seeing the old man, he suddenly blurted out,"Who are you? Why are you trying to scare us?"
"Because I don't want you to bother me any more.That's why! Yes! I locked the door on you because I wanted to scare you away.Now go away and leave me alone."
"But Mr. Rosen,we have something for you," interrupted Moshe."We found your Megillah in the old shul on Forman's Lane..."
"I know, I know," the old man said."I got your letter. But I don't want it. I just want to be left alone."
"It's very valuable,Mr. Rosen," said Chaim.
"Listen boys, it's a long time since I left London. Something happened.... I-I don't go to shul any more.Nobody bothers me here. You keep the Megillah."
"But it's a real Megillah,Mr. Rosen,"Chaim argued."It's holy. It's part of the Torah! Don't you like Purim? I get so much candy, it takes me a month to finish it!"
For the first time, Mr. Rosen smiled.
"Every year I dress up in a costume,"Chaim went on."My mother helps me make it. Last year I was a bag of jelly beans."
"I was Mordechai,"said Moshe.
"Yes,well I'm sure you looked very nice," said Mr. Rosen.
"Would you like to see my costume this year?" asked Chaim. "My mother is already working on it."
"Is it Purim soon?"the elderly man asked.
"In two weeks!"exclaimed Moshe."Will you come and be with us. Will you let us read your Megillah?"
"You can surely keep the Megillah and read it, but as for joining you, I'm afraid not. I'm too old to change."
Purim arrived. Chaim put on his new costume, and Moshe put on his.Then they went out to the car with Chaim's father and his sister, Rivka. Everybody was excited.Chaim held the Megillah in his lap. Rivka had a big basket full of fruit and cakes and some grape juice.
"I hope he won't take it the wrong way,"said Moshe.
"We'll soon see," said Chaim's father, as the car sped down the Motorway towards Mapledown.After driving about an hour and a half through the hilly country-side, they came to their destination."There's the High Road," said Chaim."I recognize it."
"There's Fox Run," said Moshe.
They parked the car and went up to the old mansion. This time when they knocked at the oak door,Mr.Rosen answered.He smiled."Come in," he said."I see I can't get rid of you so easily."
"Happy Purim, Mr. Rosen," said Chaim."This is my father. He brought us down here. If you agree, he said he'd read the Megillah for all of us.And this is my sister, Rivka. She brought the Shaloch Manos."
"Thank you," said Mr. Rosen."Would you like to put it on the table?" He led them to a room with a large mahogany table in the middle.
"I thought you might be coming," said Mr. Rosen,"but I wasn't exactly prepared to hear the ganze Megillah, heh, heh."
"Would you like me to read it?" asked Chaim's father. "The boys tell me it is your Megillah."
"Alright," said Mr. Rosen. "You can read it.Do I have to wear a yarmulka? You've got a pair of clever boys there, you know?" he said, addressing Chaim's father."I think they want to make a religious Jew out of me in my old age."
"Would you like to say the blessing on reading the Megillah?" asked Chaim's father.
"Oh no! I couldn't, "Mr. Rosen protested.
"Let me help you,"said Moshe. Together, the old man and the boy said the blessings.Then Chaim's father chanted the Megillah reading. Everybody got out their graggers.When Haman's name was read, Mr. Rosen suddenly smiled, and motioned with his hand as if asking them to wait a minute.
Chaim's father paused silently, as Mr. Rosen scurried out of the room. In a minute he re-appeared with two pot-lids in his hand.Chaim's father understood.He went back and re-read the last verse of the Megillah till he came to the name of "Haman." When he said it he raised his voice dramatically. Moshe swirled his gragger.Chaim stamped loudly on the floor, and Mr. Rosen crashed and clanged his pot-lids with all his might.
When it was all over, Chaim's father turned to Mr. Rosen. "Won't you take back your Megillah now?"he asked.
"You're very persuasive," the old man said."You've convinced me. I will take it back. It belonged to my grandfather, may he rest in peace."
"Thank you, Mr. Rosen, for allowing us to return your Megillah,"said Moshe.
"No," said Mr. Rosen."Thank you for returning me to the Megillah. It's been so many years...."
He looked around at the two boys, at Rivka, at Chaim's father, and then back at Chaim."Now where is all that candy you were telling me about?"

Return back to megilah A nice and inspiring narration. Liked it very much. with so many drifters from religion, and many more lost souls in the ocean of humanity plagued by problems associated with modernity, saviors such as Chaim and Moshe mentioned in the narration are god sent.

Student team invents Suckerspheres: sustainable alternative for microplastic
A Leiden Groningen student team has reached the European finals of the BISC-E competition. In this annual competition students have to come up with a sustainable solution to a major social problem. The team invented Suckerspheres: a natural alternative to the plastic microbeads that are still widely used in sunscreen and other cosmetic products.
Tiny beads of plastic
The team of students from Leiden en Groningen found a new application for the multifaceted protein suckerin, which they had promoted in a previous student competition as a remedy for burns (see link). 'During our research it turned out that suckerin can be used in many ways', says team member Laurens ter Haar. 'That's why we now want to use it as a sustainable and biological alternative to plastic microbeads.'
Plastic microbeads are tiny plastic balls that are used in many cosmetics, such as sunscreen and shampoo. Ter Haar: 'Producers add them, for example, to improve the spreadability of their product, but sometimes also simply as cheap bottle filling.' The plastic particles end up on a large scale in the environment and ultimately in plants, animals and people.
Suckerspheres, or spheres made of suckerine, need to replace the plastic microbeads. The team wants to produce the protein sustainably using yeast. 'Unfortunately, due to the Corona situation, we cannot test in the lab,' says supervisor Marjolein Crooijmans. 'But we have a few different theories.' 'The great thing is that we can use waste products as a feeding ground for the yeast,' adds team member Maarten Lubbers. 'Think of the sticks of corn and other non-edible parts of plants.' Moreover, Suckerspheres are also biodegradable.
The students already have ideas to convert the produced suckerin into microbeads. 'Suckerin is a thermoplastic protein', explains ter Haar. 'Just like plastic, it melts at high temperatures and then you can deform it into whatever you want. It also seems that by adding a saline solution, we can force the protein to transform itself into small spheres. But that too needs to be tested first.'

The team also has to create a business model for the competition. 'Georgy Bubnenkov from the University of Groningen will help us with this,' says Lubbers. 'As a biologist, it's very interesting to take a look at the "business side" of this kind of projects. In the beginning it was difficult, we really were introduced to a new world. But that's what makes this competition interesting; you learn things that you don't get to experience during your own studies.'
The European final of BISC-E is in November. It would have been in Paris, but will now take place online. Five countries participate. 'We first have to present our idea to a professional jury,' says Crooijmans. 'They will choose a top three that will then have to present their idea again to the BISC jury. They ultimately choose the winner.' Before that time, there is still work to be done: 'During the national finals we received a lot of feedback about our business plan; it needs to be a lot more realistic,' says Lubbers. 'That's why, near upon, we're going to discuss how we can improve this with one of the Dutch judges. In any case, we believe that our Suckerspheres have the potential to reform the cosmetics industry.'

Fasting in the month of Ramadhan is obligatory upon every adult Muslim. Those who are sick or travelling, are exempted from fasting in Ramadhan. They must, however, make up all the missed days of fasting at another time. Those who are really unable (i.e. too old or too weak) to fast, are allowed to feed a poor person for every day of fasting that they miss (2:184-186).
Muslims who are not exempted are required to fast for 29 or 30 days of the month of Ramadhan; the exact number of days depends on the appearance of the moon. Fasting starts with the sighting of the new moon of Ramadhan and ends with the appearance of the new moon of Shawwal.
The fasting begins from Dawn and continues until Sunset. During this period, a Muslim does not eat or drink anything and abstains from any vulgar speech or act. Fasting in some form or another has been practiced by almost all religions.
In addition to the obligatory fasting of Ramadhan, we may observe voluntary fasting whenever we like. There are, however, six commonly observed voluntary days of fasting after the day of Eid ul Fitr in the beginning of the lunar month of Shawwal (next month after Ramadhan), as practised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
Fasting is a source of many blessings. Some of these are summarised below:
Keeps away from evils: By fasting, a Muslim abstains even from his essential and lawful requirements solely for the sake of Allah. Thus it becomes easy for him to keep away from the unlawful acts and evils which are forbidden by Allah.
Promotes self-discipline and human sympathy: Fasting promotes self-discipline and endurance. It also reinforces the bonds of human sympathy, especially for the poor. During Ramadhan, the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was very generous in giving charity to the poor.
Promotes spiritual elevation: Fasting promotes spiritual elevation and love of Allah for His servants. According to the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, Allah Himself becomes the reward for a believer who is fasting, by forgiving his sins and accepting his prayers.
Improves physical health: Fasting brings a healthy change in our body systems and promotes better health.

By now most people know that the Great Peninsula Conservancy has purchased 100 acres adjacent to The Ridge at Buck Lake. Although this land was purchased by the GPC, it will be managed by the Hansville Greenway Association and treated as part of the existing Hansville Greenway.
We (the Hansville Greenway Association) have started work in making the new land accessible. We are in the process of constructing the "main" entrance to the new acquisition, a short distance west of post #3 on the current trail system. The first post, #40, was set on "Twosday—2/22/22." Although the temperature was 29 degrees and it was snowing lightly, we braved the elements and got the job started.
The following day, we set the rest of the posts, #41 through #44, as well as the two viewpoint signs. A trail from the existing Greenway into the new land was pioneered a week or two ago. We will be getting crews together to construct this trail soon. If you have signed up to help, expect to be getting a call!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Joe Reichmuth for routing the numbers on the new sign posts.
The following photos were taken by Marilyn DeRoy, Howie O'Brien, and Art Ellison.

Hematuria refers to blood in the urine, which maybe microscopic (visible only under a microscope) or gross (visible to the naked eye).
It can be caused by a wide number of conditions in the urinary tract, including infection, stones, or tumor/cancer. The presence of blood in the urine doesn't necessarily mean there is cancer, it is important to have this evaluated by an urologist.
The work-up may include some urine tests, imaging (ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI) and investigation with a telescope (cystoscopy) to help us identify the cause or at least rule out anything concerning that requires further treatment.

Class action legislation differences across Canada
Slater Vecchio Home Blog
By Slater Vecchio
Each province in Canada has different legislation when it comes to class action proceedings. Even though it may seem that Canada has a unified legal system, there are major legislative differences across all provinces. For example, British Columbia and Quebec have favorable legislation due to the low certification threshold, advantageous legislation, no costs, and the lack of a merit based certification test. Ontario, on the other hand, has a much higher bar for certification.
One of the biggest differences across Canada is that Quebec uses a civil code system, rather than a common law system such as the rest of Canada. This means that where precedent and judicial interpretation are emphasized in the majority of provinces, Quebec focuses on codified law.
Another difference is class action specific. Provinces such as British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario are known as "opt-out" provinces. This means that an individual that meets the class member definition must take specific steps to not be included the in the class. Essentially, all individuals that meet the definition are automatically included in the class action and its potential result. "Opt-in" provinces require class members to specifically apply to be considered in a settlement.
Each province in Canada has different legislation regarding conduct and actions that are allowed. What may be deemed allowed in one province may be grounds to sue in another. This means that filing a lawsuit in one province may be advantageous over filing it in another. Additionally, a benefit of class action legislation in Canada is that a lawsuit filed in any province represents all Canadians, further emphasizing the importance of filing in the right province. Class Action litigation is a very specialized field and requires specific expertise. This means that hiring the right class action lawyer is imperative to the potential success of your case.

moon seeks end to war declaration between south-north koreas
Moon said his government would not give up hopes of reviving peace talks with North Korea.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in seeks an end to war declaration and race of developing mass-destruction weapons between the South and North Koreas.
Moon, who was upset by North Korea's missile tests on Jan 5, 2022, said his government would not give up hopes of reviving peace talks with North Korea.
Interestingly, when North Korea test fired its first missile of the year in Jan 2022, South Korean President was in Goseong town, to attend a groundbreaking ceremony for a rail-line, which will reconnect the divided Korean peninsula.
Moon said, "only dialogue can fundamentally overcome this situation and if both Koreas work together and build trust, peace would be achieved one day."
After taking office five years ago, South Korean President Moon has made serious efforts to engage North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Both the leaders met three times in 2018, pledging to declare the Korean War – which ended not with a peace treaty, but an armistice in 1953 – over by the end of the year.
But that bid stalled the following year, when a summit between Kim and former US President Donald Trump in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, broke down.
Kim has since rebuffed offers from Trump's successor to resume talks without preconditions.
In recent months, Moon, who is due to leave office in May, has stepped up efforts to put the peace process back on track, lobbying the US and China – both involved in the Korean War – for their backing to formally declare the conflict over.
In a recent address to the United Nations General Assembly, Moon said if all the major parties involved in the conflict "proclaim an end to the War, I believe we can make irreversible progress in denuclearisation and usher in an era of complete peace".
The proposal has the support of most of the South Korean public, but has divided experts. Some say it could help break the diplomatic impasse on the Korean peninsula, while others fear it could threaten South Korea's security, including by undermining the country's defence alliance with the United States.
'Political, symbolic measure'
Supporters of an end-of-war declaration say it is only diplomacy that has so far helped reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula.
Christine Ahn, executive director of the advocacy group Women Cross DMZ, notes that the summits between the leaders of the US, South Korea and North Korea in 2018 and 2019 led to Kim imposing a moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile testing, the release of three detained Americans, the demining of portions of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas, as well as the reunion of separated families.
"It's time to take the use of force off the table," Ahn said, describing the proposed end-of-war declaration as a "political, symbolic measure" that can build confidence and create the momentum for a return to talks.

The DAS-6 PRO Power Dual Action Polisher has an upgraded 850w engine compared to the standard DAS-6, which allows professional detailers and enthusiasts alike to maintain a swirl free finish due to the inherent low risk of using a DA polisher which has random movement around a fixed point.
The Deltayo Kestrel DAS-6 PRO DA polisher is very affordable but this value for money gives a surprising level of performance comparable to much more expensive dual action polishers. It is well suited to removing scratches and swirls from paintwork but equally adept when used to apply glazes, sealants or wax.
We offer a number of shipping methods for DAS-6 PRO Dual Action Polisher based on your location and the weight of the ordered items. We always aim to offer you delivery of your products by the cheapest method for the total weight of your order.

DAS-6 PRO Dual Action Polisher has an average 4.5 out of 5 based on 1 ratings ( 1 user reviews).
Overall DAS-6 PRO Dual Action Polisher has an average 4.5 out of 5 based on 1 reviews.
This is a very good product, given the price tag. DA polishers are not available at retail outlets in India very easily. And this is the best way to get it in India. Also it was delivered without any delivery charges, and on time. It comes with 2 backing plates which can be used as per your needs, and also a wheel regulator for regulating the speed at which u polish.
Overall, a very good product.


A bunch of years ago (6 years), the British Literature anthologies we were using were dead. Like, bindings-falling-off dead. And out of print.
So, like normal we looked to the major vendors for something suitable and new to buy. But there were problems- nothing had quite what we wanted, and they were all absurdly expensive. We were looking at having to spend something on the order of $30,000 on books we really didn't like all that much.
Which got me thinking about just writing our own textbooks. And when I happened across an article about print on demand publishing, light bulbs began to flash.
We've been having our own textbooks printed for our students for five years now. I can't take all the credit- especially the first year, there was a lot more than one person could do. But I did all the layout on the first two editions of the book (as well as contributing some text).
You know what I've learned in the time since then?
This is the only way to go. There's no reason not to be doing this, at any grade level and in any subject. If you're an educator (and presumably know your subject matter), this is the only way you'll ever be happy with a text. Yes, it's a lot of work, and yes, you'll have to learn some new stuff (book layout, copyright law, electronic publishing details…), but learning new stuff is a part of what being an educator is all about.
I worked on a project last summer that put educators from all over the state together to pool resources- the idea being that it would allow any of us to create our own e-books quickly and easily because we wouldn't have to do all the work ourselves. It was (and is) a great idea. Sadly, there weren't that many people that seemed to buy into it last year. We're doing it again this summer (details to follow, as I have them) and I'm hoping for a bigger turnout.

AWP vows to struggle for emancipation of women and setting up an egalitarian society, peace; AWP organises various events throughout the country and GB to celebrate International Women's Day
Islamabad: The Awami Workers Party (AWP) organised various colourful programmes throughout the country to celebrate International Women's Day.
It is worth mentioning here that no any other mainstream political party organised any event in this connection.
The AWP central leaders including President Fanoos Gujjar and woken secretary Aliya Bakhshal while addressing a conference at the Archives Hall, Peshawar reaffirmed their commitment to the cause of women emancipation and struggle for setting up an egalitarian society free from all kinds of exploitations, extremism, intolerance, and violence.
The event was attended by a large number of women, mostly families of the party leaders and workers and the women who lost their loved ones in the Peshawar Army Public School attack.
Women front of the party was launched at the conference amid revolutionary slogans and poems.
The event started with one minute silence in memory of the students and teachers killed in the Army Public School terrosit attack in December 2014.
The presidium and audience sang 'Internationale', the international anthem of workers.
AWP central secretary, women, Aliya Bakhshal presided over the event. AWP President Fanoos Gujjar was the chief guest. Federal Committee members Dr Farzana Bari, Central Deputy Secretary-General Ismat Shahjehan, the motivating force behind the formation of the front, AWP Punjab Deputy Secretary Aliya Amirali, Information Secretary F.Ali, came from Islamabad to attend the conference.
Comrade Abida Choudhry and Punjab women secretary Shazia Khan came from Lahore to attend the conference.
Prof Mairaj Khan and Nargis Khattak presented poems, paying tribute to the struggle of working women.
AWP president Fanoos Gujjar, KP women secretary Rehana Shakeel, KP Chapter President Shahab Khattak, Secretary General Haider Zaman and others also spoke on the occasion.
APS Martyrs Forum president also spoke on the occasion expressing her resolve to fight against the extremist elements and the imperialist force who are responsible for killing of 80,000 innocent people, including children and women.
In the end a 26-point charter of demand was endorsed by the participants demanding the federal and provincial governments and mainstream political parties to end discriminatory laws and ensure equal representation and participation of women in decision-making and policy-making process.
Charter of demand endorsed at the Women Conference
We affirm our resolve to strive for establishing a socialist society free from all kinds of exploitations on the basis of gender, class, race and religion.
"This conference asks the federal and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) governments to ensure provision of quality education, healthcare, job and social justice to the 960,000 women of Pakistan.
This conference also demands the mainstream traditional parties to make women question as the cornerstone of their politics and ensure 33% representation of women in their party organizations and democratic institutions.
We oppose religious extremism, terrorism, and war mongering as these affect women the most. We demand a paradigm shift in foreign policy and support friendly relations with the neighbouring countries based on peaceful co-existence and regional cooperation so that peace could prevail in the country in general and in KP and Fata in particular. The poverty-stricken children become fodder of extremism, violence and conflict, therefore violence and extremism should be stopped so that working class women could live a life with peace and free from fear.
We demand judicial inquiry of the Army Public School incident and make public its findings.
We demand NADRA and women commissions to review the census proforma and include housewive's work, wages, assets, hereditary and voting rights in the census form so that real picture of the women could be obtained in terms of their democratic rights and their share in the economy. NADRA should ensure issuance of computerized National Identity Cards to about one million women and the Election Commission should include their names in the voters list before the 2018 elections.
The conference is of the view that all languages should be given national languages status and children be given education in their mother languages at primary level.
We demand equal wages for women, ban on forced labour, contractual system and regularization of all contract employees, social and legal protection to all working women in informal sector and application of labour laws on all working women, equal rights and protection to peasants like industrial workers, opening up of all employment opportunities to women and registration of all peasants and payment of minimum wages to them.
Provision of education and health to all citizens is the constitutional responsibility of the state. AWP will oppose any legal or policy moves to privatise these services. We also demand a substantial improvement in service structures of employees in the two important sectors and oppose their transfers on political basis. Women teachers be posted in their home towns and districts.
We demand setting up of a permanent pay and pension commission in KP to ensure payment of minimum wages in formal and informal sectors. We also demand an increase in minimum wages to Rs25,000 from Rs14,000 in the forthcoming budget.
We demand the parliament to implement land reforms act 1976. We also appeal to the Supreme Court to decide the AWP petition on land reform without any further delay.
We also demand abolition of Islamic Ideology Council and Federal Shariat Court which are impediment to democracy and struggle for setting up an egalitarian society and are playing major role in protecting the patriarchy system.
We demand abolition of all discriminatory laws and institutions, especially family laws, law of hereditary, Hadood laws, and law of evidence. We support equal right of divorce and hereditary for women.
We support the Election Act 2017 which makes 10% women vote as mandatory for giving legal and democratic credential to election results and demand the government to ensure its implementation and an increase in the voting threshold in future.
We demand equal right of heritance for girls.
We support merger of FATA into KP and demand immediate implementation of the decision and constitutional amendment in this regard to provide relief to the people of tribal areas.
We condemn killing in the name of honour and consider it a non-compoundable crime. We also demand to declare domestic violence as cognizable crime and severe punishment for the crime.
We support the Protection of Minorities Law 2015 passed by Sindh Assembly and oppose the moves to amend or weaken it. We also demand from the KP Assembly to pass a similar law for the protection of non-Muslim communities.
We condemn kidnapping and forced marriage of Hindu and Christian girls with Muslim kidnappers. We also condemn under age forced convergence and marriage of non-Muslim girls and convergence of adult under duress as a crime against the fundamental human right.
We condemn all tribal and feudal customs of giving young girls into marriages under Swara, Vanni and also oppose polygamy. We demand stricter measures to discourage these outdated customs.
We oppose all forms of discriminatory laws on the basis of gender and class and alternative justice system such as panchayat and jirgas and demand to include Swara, Vanni, Karo-Kari and Ghaig in the list of crime against state.
We demand the federal and provincial governments to cut non-development expenditure and increase budgetary allocation for education to 10 per cent and for health 6% and of housing units to 5% and restore subsidy on gas, electricity and train fair.
We demand the provincial and federal governments to take measures for the betterment of women and set up mother and child care centre, maternity homes and child daycare centres in rural areas and suburbs of cities as well as provision of tap water facilities for rural women.

The authors write about the importance of the prospect of gender parity in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, especially in terms of how the digital economy could help shift the playing field towards greater women empowerment.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is changing the ways we connect with each other, with information, and with the world, especially in terms of using the Internet. Technologies like machine learning, big data analytics, automation, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and robotics are allowing us to solve more and more complex problems. Mobile and cloud technology is at the centre of it. More and more, we are seeing the spread of Internet-based service models.
The 4IR also opens new windows of opportunity for gender equality by improving female participation in economic life and thus enhancing the economic and social autonomy of women.
Given that mobile and digital technologies offer women the potential to bypass some of the traditional cultural and mobility barriers, particularly in emerging and developing countries, the new technologies could help women access new markets, work flexibly and distantly, acquire and interact with customers, receive training and provide mentoring, improve financial autonomy and access finance for their ventures.
Generally, women possess superior social or soft skills, which can expect increasing rewards on labour markets in the 4IR. Such social skills are often a feature of women-dominated jobs and they include, for instance, emotional intelligence, a heightened sense of responsibility towards the wider community, greater empathy, more effective communication and a greater willingness to adapt to changing circumstances.
These soft skills ought to assist women in avoiding the enormous employment losses from automatisation, which, in developed countries, are predicted to account for up to 60 percent of all jobs over the next two decades. The female social skills advantage could be developed even further if complemented by competencies in cognitive skills and advanced digital literacy, which are competencies for the 4IR. Such skills complementarities are expected to increase, and they could open the way for women into better-paying management and leadership type of jobs.
Digitalisation which is central to the 4IR offers a variety of opportunities for female empowerment and for a more equal female participation in labour markets, financial markets, and entrepreneurship. Research indicates that digitalisation seems to favour female labour force that faces lower risk of being replaced by machines, as compared to male labour force.
Equally, gender inequalities may prevent women from fully benefiting from opportunities offered by digitalisation. Women often find themselves trapped in a vicious circle, where current gender gaps hinder the chances for future improvements. Thus, prevailing legal and cultural restrictions towards female autonomy in many emerging and developing economies tend to prevent women from accessing digital devices that could help overcome some of these restrictions.
Even in the most developed countries, lower female enrolment rates in higher education, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, deter women from fully realising the chances offered by digitalisation. Accordingly, women are at risk of missing out on the most promising jobs of the 4IR.
Digitalisation is likely to create a vast variety of new opportunities for entrepreneurship, too. Current gender imbalances like gaps in entrepreneurial skills, lack of developed social networks for female business founders, insufficient numbers of female role models of entrepreneurship and prevalence of financial constraints may keep women from recognising and pursuing those entrepreneurial opportunities.
If women are to realise their full potential in the 4IR, then they need to target these current gender gaps. Many of these gender imbalances can effectively be addressed by means of deploying new digital technologies.
Internet penetration rates also remain higher for men than women in all regions of the world. In pursuance of gender equality in Internet penetration, there is need for renewed action to bridge the increasing digital divide. A recent United Nations report highlighted key action areas that all women fully participate in the online world. The report also indicated that structural inequalities remain and impede women's full and equal participation in the digital economy.
However, it is not just access to the Internet, it stretches all the way to women in the technology sector as well. In advanced countries, only 3 percent of technology companies have female Chief Executive Officers. Despite being half of the population of users, women represent just 20 percent of technology specialists.
There is need for quality education, with emphasis on STEM for all children in order to develop the necessary tools to create careers in those fields. Currently, women only represent 30 percent of those studying STEM. This impacts generations of content as well as new technologies. One great challenge is to include more women in the design, development, implementation, and regulation debates in all technologies, in particular with artificial intelligence.
Numerous research studies have also demonstrated the value of a more balanced workforce and how it leads to better products and better results. Different experiences, viewpoints, knowledge, and perspectives are key ingredients for creativity, conflict resolution, and critical analysis – all crucial to innovation in science and technology fields. This understanding has led to extensive efforts to balance the work force – efforts by governments around the world, efforts by our learning institutions, and efforts by corporations.
According to a Laotian proverb, "The voice of a poor man does not carry very far." Neither does the voice of a poor woman. That is why we need to continue the struggle for women's equal rights, especially the most disadvantaged. While we talk of the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution and the "digitisation of everything", we sometimes forget that many people are still struggling to move beyond the Second Industrial Revolution. The rights of women – roughly half the world's population – to access the means to economic prosperity and the benefits of technology (as well as the protection from its dangers) will have a positive impact on the whole of society. Planning for success without planning for the rights of women is an unequal formula doomed to fail.
Studies suggest that if governments and businesses double the pace at which women are becoming digitally fluent, we could reach gender equality in the workplace by 2040 in developed nations and by 2060 in developing nations. If we don't, then the 2014 Gender Gap Report issued by the World Economic Forum predicts that the world would reach gender parity only by 2095. As the world pays lip service to the question of gender parity, that forecast worsens, with the gap anticipated to close as late as 2133. That is 117 years from now, multiple generations away.
A new inclusive developmental equation must be forged between the State, the market and society to make progress towards an equitable development model based on employment, economic productivity growth, social well-being and environmental sustainability.
In this connection, Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) provide essential support across all economic, political, cultural and social activity. As such, they are potential allies in the drive to achieve equality by helping reduce the gender inequities, which constitute not only a gender digital gap but also a social divide. If women are to enjoy opportunities in a context of extremely rapid technological development, they must have access to ICTs, although this alone will not suffice.
New digital tools are empowering and can serve to support a new source of inclusive global economic growth. To seize this opportunity, it is essential that no one, and especially no woman, is held back in trying to achieve their aspirations. Now is the time to step up the efforts and take advantage of the digital transformation to ensure that it represents a leapfrog opportunity for women and a chance to build a more inclusive digital world.
Disruptive changes to business models will have a profound impact on the employment landscape over the coming years. Many of the major drivers of transformation currently affecting global industries are expected to have a significant impact on jobs, ranging from significant job creation to job displacement, and from heightened labour productivity to widening skills gaps. By one popular estimate, 65 percent of children entering primary school today will ultimately end up working in completely new job types that don't yet exist.
Past waves of technological advancement and demographic change have led to increased prosperity, productivity and job creation. Anticipating and preparing for the current transition is therefore critical. It is up to us to ensure that women have the skills to adapt to these changes. If girls and women do not have access to, control over and full use of technology, they will simply be left behind.
The 4IR presents us with a unique opportunity to change the trajectory of gender inequality globally, as governments recalibrate policies to future-proof their economies.
